The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chapter 377: Heavy Counterpunch


After he said this,

the police officer was about to push past Chen Fang, who was blocking his way.

But as soon as he exerted force on his arm,

Chen Fang didn't budge at all.

"What do you mean by this? Obstructing law enforcement?"

the policeman asked.

Chen Fang replied, "The person is lying inside, you know her condition better than us. Do you think it's possible to take her away now?"

"Why wouldn't it be possible? I say it's possible, then it's possible,"

the police officer retorted angrily.

Then he continued, "I advise you to step aside immediately, otherwise, I will have to enforce compulsory measures against you."

"Fine, you can take me away, but taking her today, that's impossible!"

Chen Fang put a lot of emphasis on the last three words.

And that entirely infuriated the police officer.

Without another word, he pulled out handcuffs from his waist.

Just at this critical moment,

a voice rang out.

"Qu Suo, you've got some nerve. Even the newly arrived Customs Chief Chen dares to be handcuffed by you?"

It was a woman's voice.

Upon hearing this voice,

everyone turned around to look.

Xu Lianyun was seen walking towards them slowly with her hands behind her back.

At that moment, the faces of the four officers present all seemed panicked.

Especially the one who had been shouting at Chen Fang, who now asked in terror, "Executive Director Xu, who did you say he is?"

By now, Xu Lianyun had already approached.

She looked at Qu You, the Deputy Chief of the Huxi Police Station, who had been rude to Chen Fang, and said in surprise, "Oh, so Qu Suo doesn't know who he is? Let me introduce him to you, this is Chen Fang, the newly appointed Deputy Chief of Wen'an City Customs."

"Ah?"

Upon this introduction,

Qu You's expression froze on his face.

He fiercely glanced at Chen Fang, sizing him up carefully, perhaps never having imagined that this young-looking man could be a Deputy Director-level official.

"Qu Suo, still planning on handcuffing me?"

Chen Fang asked.

Qu You swallowed hard and said, "Customs Chief Chen, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding, I... I apologize to you."

Indeed, a bully to the weak and a coward before the strong.

If Chen Fang was just an ordinary person, his hands would probably be in handcuffs by now, but he wasn't an ordinary person; he was a Deputy Director-level Customs Deputy Chief. Even if Qu You were given more courage, he wouldn't dare do such a thing.

Chen Fang paused for a moment and asked, "Qu Suo, is Yu Caimei really guilty of theft, or did—someone—say she stole something?"

As soon as he asked this,

Qu You became a bit nervous.

He unconsciously glanced at the leader beside him.

That person said, "Customs Chief Chen, there might have been some misunderstanding here. We'll go back and confirm the evidence later, and we will definitely give you an answer later."

After speaking,

he signaled the other three with his eyes,

and they turned and left.

Watching them retreat,

Xu Lianyun asked, "Not going to make it difficult for them?"

Chen Fang shook his head and said, "Their purpose here wasn't really to arrest anyone, but someone wanted to embarrass us."

"Embarrass us?"

Xu Lianyun was startled.

Chen Fang snorted coldly and said, "Come out, you have watched quite a show for so long, aren't you going to show yourself?"

The crowd listened, a little confused,

scanning around with their eyes.

At this moment, at the corner of the corridor,

a person emerged clapping his hands, none other than the exquisitely dressed Zuo Jiadong. As he clapped, he said with a smile, "Brilliant, just brilliant. There really are perks to being an official, aren't there? As soon as Chief Chen's identity came out, the police didn't dare to make a move. Truly an eye-opening experience for me."

"Is that so? But Mr. Zuo has seen much of the world, satisfied with just a small appetizer like this?"

Chen Fang asked.

Zuo Jiadong gave a mischievous smile,

and said, "Of course not, I was just wondering, with Customs Chief Chen being so busy, could it be that he plans to guard the hospital door every day with a little stool? What if he were negligent and Yu Caimei suffered again, what then?"

This sentence was a naked threat.

"You bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhengchuan was about to charge forward.

He was stopped by Chen Fang.

Chen Fang smiled and said, "I admit, I was negligent before, but from now on, as long as she lies quietly inside, she shouldn't be disturbed by anyone, and remember, I said anyone."

"Oh? Warden Chen, what a bold claim, so confident? Since Warden Chen is so capable, why not catch the person who hurt her? There's a saying, how does it go? 'The net of law is vast and unfathomable; it lets nothing slip through.' If you ask me, sometimes there are loopholes in this net too."

As he spoke this line,

Zuo Jiadong's face was filled with arrogance and defiance.

In his view, nobody had evidence about who harmed Yu Caimei; even Chen Fang couldn't get the police to make an arrest.

This wasn't the first time he had done something like this.

At that moment,

Fang Mei appeared in the corridor.

She walked straight to Chen Fang and handed him an envelope.

Chen Fang pinched the envelope,

and said, "Director Zuo, this morning, I don't know who mailed me a photo. I wonder if Director Zuo might be interested in such a photo?"

Zuo Jiadong smiled smugly, thinking Chen Fang was trying to probe him.

He said, "Oh? That's quite curious, indeed. Warden Chen must investigate thoroughly. With your skills, you're sure to find the sender, right?"

This was a provocation.

And a boast.

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Director Zuo, I have a few more photos here that you've never seen. Are you interested in taking a look?"

As he spoke,

he opened the envelope,

and pulled out six photos.

Zuo Jiadong stretched lazily,

and said, "I have no interest in Warden Chen's photos."

"You will be interested, I guarantee it!"

Chen Fang didn't wait for his approval,

and placed the first photo in front of him.

Zuo Jiadong glanced at it, and his smug expression immediately folded.

Then,

Chen Fang handed over the second, the third… all six photos, one by one.

These six photos captured the six men who had abused Yu Caimei, with burns on their lower bodies.

It was evident that Zuo Jiadong's hands had started to tremble slightly.

His eyes began to redden, and he radiated an aura of murderous intent.

"How about it, Director Zuo, don't you find these photos more exciting than the last? They were also picked up by my friend from a trash can. Do you want to investigate who threw them away?"

Chen Fang asked.

"You're seeking death!"

After being bottled up for a moment,

he managed three words.

He glared at Chen Fang with a look that felt as if his face was being rubbed against the ground.

Chen Fang didn't bother to be diplomatic anymore,

and stared back coldly.

He said, "Zuo Jiadong, Yu Caimei lies inside. Tell your men, if they dare to step through that door, their fate will be worse than your six subordinates. I don't care how arrogant you've been in the past, Zuo Jiadong, but now you've provoked me. Just wait, you'll regret what you've done."

"Fine, I'd like to see what you, Chen Fang, are capable of!"

After dropping that line,

Zuo Jiadong left in a fit of rage.

He had stayed here today intending to intimidate Chen Fang,

to show him the consequences of crossing him.

But he hadn't expected Chen Fang to be even more ruthless.

In just a few hours, not only had Chen Fang retaliated, but he had done so efficiently and forcefully, making each of the six men who had hurt Yu Caimei pay the price.

"You just let him walk away?"

Mo Zifei asked angrily.

Chen Fang took a deep breath and said, "This man is untouchable, and the police won't arrest him. Besides, we have no evidence against him; otherwise, I wouldn't have resorted to these measures."

"Isn't that letting him off too easily? He's the mastermind."

Mo Zifei said through clenched teeth.

Chen Fang gave a cold smile and said, "Don't worry, his end won't be pleasant. Next, I need to meet with the person orchestrating this from behind the scenes…"
